My significant other is older and refuses to eat healthy foods. I really don't know what to do with him. I buy fruits and vegetables. I prepare as many healthy foods as possible and other than dinner he is content with drinking dr. pepper and eating cookies all day. he gets headaches and I'm sure his bloodpressure is too high, simply from this. How can I encourage him to eat better without nagging? I've pointed out my concerns before...but it basically goes unheeded.

He doesnt have insurance right now. but I told him about somebody in our town that that you can just pay by the lenght of time he sees you. We are going to counseling, so maybe I will bring it up there. I told him he was going to have to buy his own dr. pepper. I got some cookies that have non hydroentated fats in them. At least he is eating fruit salad for dinner tonight!!

yeah, tell me about it. i would totally freak out if he had a stroke or something. He could be healthy if he would just make a little bit of an effort.

Or my dad could use some info on how getting my mom to eat healthier now. She's close to diabetic and doesn't seem to care.

Well try to prepare your food in a different way. Appearance appeals to picky eaters too, so try to present it in a way that it looks sumptuous.
